Answering a Common Question

I'd hoped to write today about how the gospel impacts our fight against envy.  But that will have to wait one more day.  So in the meantime, here's an interesting article that I read today.

Tim Keller writes:

I find it frustrating when I read or hear columnists, pundits, or journalists dismiss Christians as inconsistent because "they pick and choose which of the rules in the Bible to obey." Most often I hear, "Christians ignore lots of Old Testament texts---about not eating raw meat or pork or shellfish, not executing people for breaking the Sabbath, not wearing garments woven with two kinds of material and so on. Then they condemn homosexuality. Aren't you just picking and choosing what you want to believe from the Bible?"

If you've ever heard that line of thinking and wondered what to say in response, check out the rest of Keller's article here.
